Machine (It's Pneumatic)

Machine
Felt obscene
Fell between the absent and the sheen
You deny being
You who will
Not live
Refuse my life
Whisper… “Its Pneumatic.”
The sting
Fell between the absent and machine
Cant
You sympathize
With flesh that feels
Then dies
Doesn’t it seem better not to understand?
Watch yourself as hammer falls
We’re all edible.
Edible?
The sting
Fell between the dragged in and machine.

More Than Misunderstood
Indiscriminate
It's criminal how you push me
How you hate me
How you act like I’m not here
Go fuck yourself
Your trial I’m tribulation
Anticipating vicious antipathy here
What is it
This shitty thing that separates us
That master baits us
Makes you act like I’m not here
Go fuck yourself
Your anal representation
Is soul annihilation
Can I get some sense of the human here?
More than misunderstood
Mistakes are made
Drool to
Make the scene get the ring
The sting the king of being
He beams he blinds
Makes you act like I’m not here
Go fuck yourself
Your control for animal
Doesn’t know doesn’t know
It’s peachy keen now that Pavlov’s here.
More than misunderstood
Mistakes are made

Rabbit
Steady… steady… now!
Work it
I feel numb
On and on
Hold your breath now
Feel the sound
Yeah
On your feet now
Rabbit!

Face Down
Pass into a drug-induced trance
Hands trace patterns in the soil
So righteous
You like jackals fled
Grace found
Face down
Tendrils crimson
Trace sound
I’m drowning….
Face down
Grace found
Face down
Clean? Am I clean? Am I clean now?
Whisper gash
A scarlet sash
A wrap around
Multiple entrance wounds
Exhibit found
A thirst
A hunger for redemption
Now I am found…
Face down
Grace found
Face down
You like jackals fled
Hypocrisy
So righteous
Face down
Grace found
Face down
You recognize the first assassin…

They Beat and Mortify
They beat
And mortify
There you lie
Objectified
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Peace through God?

Non-circuit
Nonsense when incomplete
We lash out
Insensibly
Circuit
Only complete by pain
Localize and understand
Common feeling in [hu]man
Vicious
Violent
Unthinking I’m thinking within the blink
Decompose time to millisecond
The killing in Pavlov’s instinct
Sand oil land and desert
Wandered in our retinal discomfort
Confused the weary to
Mindlessly hate
And dislocate
The bell ring
The patient struggles against the sting
But distance makes us dumb as guns
Will you kill him
When your conscience runs?
Circuit
Only complete by pain
Localize and understand
Common feeling in [hu]man
Pattern emergent
Our ashes drown the remains tonight
Contaminate the skull
Salt that stings my sight
Thoughts full
The networks dull
Brings no love
Brings no insight.

By Media
Pour their hatred in your mouth
Swallow spit or not
You won’t forget
The moneyshot
Here
The drawl that laughs
The voice the lulls
It’s not just the visuals
It’s the demeaning lapse of the beautiful
Into cynical
criminal
Their violence made minimal
By the systematic drool demeanor
Of the drones
Sight knife
Cutting voice
My throat
The bloody surf
Eyes closed
Ears choked
By media
Hostage
Tortured and shocked by hate
Skin burned by acid
Mutilated by electric drills or rape
We left choking
Choking on the chalk and tape
Sight knife
Cutting voice
My throat
The bloody surf
Eyes closed
Ears choked
By media

Live Brightly
Someday
I will
Breathe the breath of freedom
Revoke the right
Of man to provoke
Provoke me
See
Breathe
Live brightly
See
Sets you free
Breathe!
Pull the shades aside
Moonrise not so hard to the eyes
Moonrise loom inside
Fever glimpse
Shiver touch
Wants so much
See
Breathe
Live brightly
See
Sets you free
